Far in the eastern passage away a sudden light
I have kissed the summer dawn
The path gleaming already with a clear pale light
At first faint-gleaming in the dappled east
I hear the waves on the long shingle thrown
Against the sea, stillnesss lone
I feel so far and outcast from my own self
The breeze at the shores had secrets to say
The uneasy draught rises the roses are dun
I am tamed in her, but she leaves.
The sea in summer sunrise
Walled with desperate pines
The feuder love we used to see
In radiant hill and woodland dim
I am drawn cold, I must turn again
The sullen waters swell forward the sun
Waiting a sign in the deep heart of me
And by the tide alone, the water swayed
May silent thanks be given anyway to God
For it is better life than undue love.
